The Marlins series did not go the way we wanted, but the great thing about baseball is there is always another game. The Nats remain on the road as they take on a Reds team that has been up and down. Cincinnati started the season red hot before going on a big losing streak. They have won their last two though, so maybe the Reds have gotten back on track.
The Nats are rolling out a pretty familiar lineup. James Wood will be in the leadoff spot as usual, with Luis Garcia Jr. hitting behind him. CJ Abrams
will be in the cleanup spot, with Blake Butera liking to spread out his two biggest weapons. Jose Tena and Keibert Ruiz will be at the bottom of the lineup. Miles Mikolas had his best start of the season last time out and will be on the bump in this one.
The Reds hitters are either very hot or very cold. Elly De La Cruz, Sal Stewart and JJ Bleday are among the hot bats, while Ke’Bryan Hayes, TJ Friedl and Tyler Stephenson are ice cold. One hot hitter who is not in the lineup is former Nat Nathaniel Lowe who is having a bounce back year for the Reds. Veteran right hander Brady Singer will be on the mound.

With the day off, the Nats should be able to flush the bad vibes from the Marlins series. Hopefully they can play cleaner baseball and take advantage of opportunities in this one. This has been a fun start to the season, but there are plenty of things that could improve. Follow along down below in the comments, and let’s go Nats!
